John: Thanks for stopping by – your English is just fine I have not read a novel by Murakami, so your insight into his short stories being better is intriguing to me. I like to be a little challenged by a writer, and so I did enjoy this author…I will definitely try some of his other work at some point.

Murakami is a really curious writter, for me his short-novels are most the time better than his novel. “Landscape with Flatiron” is with “Honey Pie” the best short-novel I’ve never read. I hope you’re going to read his other text because even if we can say it’s strange, difficult or boring, there’re always many quite interesting ideas.

PS: I’m french, so I must apologize for my quite incorrect english…

Ann: *nodding* That is why I love reading groups. I find sometimes that my appreciation for a book (or story) is much enhanced after discussing it.

Lightheaded: I really need to read one of his novels. I have read rave reviews on his books – but I have always been nervous about reading him because he is ‘deep.’

I do hope you read more of Haruki Murakami. I find his stories and novels engaging, enjoyable, sometimes difficult yet all are well-written.

Isn’t that just the wonder of reading groups? I value reading as a solitary activity, but I do also very much cherish the growth of understanding that can come from discussion. I don’t know this writer, so thanks for the review
